We discussed this in the past and the agreement seemed to be that experimental-link-color should only be part of the plugin and will be deprecated and removed when the plugin required WordPress 5.8 as the minimum version.

The documentation changes look good to me 👍 I wonder if link color should be true by default given that other color controls are true. But I think we can change the default in a future version if we want to.
